Reviewing: Awaken

Awaken

By: Lori Adams

What It's About!

Sophia St. James has every reason to be happy: she survived the kiss of death from the seductive Demon Knight Dante and is free to be with Michael, her sexy Guardian Angel. She eagerly begins her Awakening to become a Spirit Walker and help lost souls cross over. But her training is fraught with setbacks, and Michael begs her to stop. The life of a Spirit Walker is far too dangerous, and he won’t be able to protect her.

Then Dante returns, threatening to drag Sophia to Hell so they can finally be together. Terrified of losing everything she has worked for, Sophia turns the tables on Dante, luring him into a deception that may get them both killed. The stakes climb even higher when Dante’s ally, Wolfgang, emerges from Hell with one order: kill Sophia. Will Michael once again be Sophia’s saving grace or will the Awakening give her the power she needs to save herself?

My Thoughts!

I received this book through Net Galley in turn for an honest review. It's hard for me to write this review, because I was such a fan of the first book of the soulkeeper series. It just didn't captivate me like the other one did. I felt there was just too much going on. So many ideas and not enough follow through. I really didn't get the whole making a double of herself so she could do school and training. It was very preteen to me. Sophia and Michael were also too hot and cold in this book. Her relationship and willingness to trust Dante made me question their love and seriousness too. I wouldn't count me out for the next book in the series, because I loved the first book so much...but I'm hoping for better in book 3. These are just opinions I've gathered in my experience.
